They tried to find out who he was but they never could.

He couldn't even tell them his name--he could only say a few simple words.

He had a letter on him beginning 'Dear Dick' and signed 'Leslie,' but there was no address on it and the envelope was gone.

They let him stay on--he learned to do a few odd jobs about the place--and there Captain Jim found him.

He brought him home--I've always said it was a bad day's work, though I s'pose there was nothing else he could do.
